2007 Pontiac Torrent

BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A STRONG FUEL ODOR FROM THE CAR WHEN IT IS PARKED. LOOKED UNDER IT AND THE FUEL TANK IS WET W/ FUEL. LOOKED ON INTERNET AND SAW A RECALL FOR A CRACKED RETURN PORT ON FUEL PUMP. CAR WAS SOLD AND HAS BEEN REGISTERED IN AZ ALL IT'S LIFE. CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL ON THIS VIN. CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD THE SAME ABOUT THE VIN. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!! *TR
